WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS
Definition of Adaptogen From Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia

The word adaptogen, coined by Russian Scientist Dr. Nicolai Lazarev, refers to a natural herb product that increases the body\'s resistance to stresses such as trauma, anxiety and bodily fatigue. The guidelines Lazarev created for an herb to be considered an adaptogen are:

1. It must cause only minimal disorders in the body\'s physiological functions;
2. It must increase the body\'s resistance to adverse influences not by a specific action but by a wide range of physical, chemical, and biochemical factors;
3. It must have an overall normalizing effect, improving all kinds of conditions and aggravating none.

It is claimed that adaptogenic herbs are unique from other substances in their ability to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system, and they help the body to maintain optimal homeostasis.

Most herbal adaptogens that have been identified are used in either Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Adaptogens with a significant level of scientific research confirming their use include: American Ginseng, Ashwagandha, Asian Ginseng, Cordyceps, Dang Shen, Eleuthero, Holy Basil, Guduchi, Jiaogulan, Licorice, Reishi, Rhaponticum, Rhodiola Rosea, Schisandra, Shilajit and Suma.

The ability of certain nutritional plants to produce general holistic effects has been known to herbalists for thousands of years. Their philosophy is based on the belief that lasting vitality is achieved through keeping the body healthy, rather than treating it for disease. The Orientals were so proud of their special natural remedies that they named them \"kingly\" and \"elite\" herbs.

Adaptogens are biological substances found in certain rare plants and herbs that help the body \"adapt\" to changes and stress. Some of the benefits include overall stress protection, better ability to cope with stress, better sleep, quicker injury recovery, increased energy, and overall mental clarity and perception. The risks are zero, and existing scientific experiments verify this safety record.

Scientific research and studies have proven that humans and other organisms are able to adapt better and survive longer when using these adaptogenic herbs. In fact, these special plants have managed to survive in harsh environments for centuries due to their unique composition of biologically active substances.

The Russian scientist Dr. Nicolai Lazarev, who in fact coined the name adaptogen, discovered Adaptogens in 1947. Dr. Lazarev was also the mentor of world-renowned Russian research pharmacologist and physiologist Dr. Israel I. Brekhman, who conducted extensive research on adaptogenic herbs and holds 40 patents on this discovery. He taught the Soviet scientific community what they had to offer to humans. Dr. Brekhman\'s research was secret but significant, and applied with great success in the diets of Soviet cosmonauts and Olympic athletes to show off their superiority to the world.

Adaptogens were secretly researched and developed over the past 45 years by hundreds of scientists in the former Soviet Union. One to three billion dollars were spent in the Soviet quest for naturally occurring substances that would improve performance without side effects. It was used to improve performance in their Olympic athletes, cosmonauts, key military figures, chess champions, ballerinas and other performing elite. Although adaptogens are still relatively new to Americans, there are thousands of scientific studies documenting the benefits of including adaptogens in the diet.

Since then more than a three thousand experimental and clinical studies on adaptogens have been done most of them in Russia and Germany. Most of these studies have shown the outstanding stress-protective and immune-system enhancing capacities of adaptogens.

HOW DO ADAPTOGENS WORK
Natural herbs such as adaptogens increase energy and work through the adrenal glands to control the excess production of the killer stress hormone, cortisol, and has helped millions around the world adapt to various stress conditions and eliminate the damaging effects of stress that can increase the risks of poor health and disease.
